There are so many different ideas out there about training and nutrition. So how do you know which approach is the right one for you? It really can be a complete minefield deciding where to start. In this article we hope to offer some insight into the products and processes we have found most useful.
If you look on Facebook or any mainstream social media source, you will come across dozens of programs and people giving advice on how to approach training and nutrition. Some of these so-called experts make massive claims about what you will lose and how fast you will lose it.
How do you know if any of these approaches have what you are looking for? Well, you do not really, do you? That is why we prefer to take a different path. One based more on fact than hype, and one where common sense plays a bigger part.
There Is No Single Solution
There is no one thing that will support your active lifestyle goals on its own. It is a combination of things such as eating well and exercising regularly. These two together ensure that you are fuelling your body with quality nutrition and using that energy as effectively as possible.
The Role of Supplements
Alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise, certain supplements are commonly used by those looking to complement an active lifestyle and training routine. Here are three from the Emrald Labs range that are popular choices:
Pre Shred
Emrald Labs Pre Shred is a low-calorie thermogenic pre-workout delivering 240mg of caffeine per double serve alongside a nootropic blend of Alpha-GPC, L-Theanine and L-Tyrosine, with fully transparent ingredient labelling and no proprietary blends. At just 12 calories per double serve, it is a practical pre-training option for those who want to support their energy and focus going into a session without unnecessary additives. With a 100% transparent label, you will clearly see exactly what is going into your body.
Carnitine+
Emrald Labs Carnitine+ is a stimulant-free multi-form carnitine powder combining three carnitine variants alongside CLA and InnoSlim. Carnitine is an amino acid derivative naturally found in red meat and dairy, and is a popular choice among those with active lifestyles. The stimulant-free formulation means it can be used at any time of day and stacks easily alongside other supplements in your routine.
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Emrald Labs Acetyl L-Carnitine is a pharmaceutical-grade ALCAR powder in an unflavoured format. It is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative commonly used as part of an active lifestyle and training routine. It is easy to stack with other supplements including Pre Shred or your post-workout protein shake.
